I have been working with him trying to get him to find shed antlers. So far it is daddy-5 and Lyle-0 but hopefully soon he will figure it out. He also thinks they make marvelous chew toys!

Wow! That is quite a chew toy! I always love your photos of the great outdoors. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

Wow, those are big, what are they from?

 

[BeagsMom]

Cool! What a terrific chew toy for the lovely Lyle.

An occasional moose may mosey across the border from Idaho, but that is still over a days drive (yes in one state) from our home. The Bagel and I come upon Elk and Mule Deer antlers all the time. The Bagel sniffs em, and then moves on. I think he expects there to be meat on anything he is going to chew on /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

I always enjoy your beautiful pictures of Lyle and scenery. Those are mighty big chew toys! /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif

I see that you have a far more respectful spouce than my husband does... If it were my husband, I would escape in search of the antler myself and spray them with this wonderfull Bubble thing cheese and liver flavour they sell in Petsmart, and then, guess who would win!...Hee, hee, hee... :evilgrin: (Sorry, I must have lived far too long with Beagles: they tought me well...)

Looks like a good new hobby, what would Lyle do if he came accross the whole Moose? :holy****:

Why play with him, of course! Oh, you mean that other kind of moose?!

 

[iain langman]

How many 'moose' are there? I meant the big wild ones you have overthere the one the antler fell off!

The Bagel has encountered large wild ungulates (Elk, Deer, Antelope, horse, and burro but not any moose). He pretty much ignores them just like cows and domestic horses. The only wild mammal he ever tried to play with was a dang badger, who by the way, was having none of that! Somehow the Bagel thought the badger was buddy sized. He treats marmots and such as prey because they behave like prey. I suspect Bill and Lyle have crossed paths with live moose, I mean they live in Moosehead Lake /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

Lyle has encountered moose, deer, coyote and we were close to a bear once as Lyle's hackles were raised but the bear stayed out of sight. Lyle goes nuts when he sees a moose from the safety of the truck. When he meets them while we are walking he just watches them but then goes into super sniffing mode with his nose going a mile a minute! We have lots of moose around here. In fact most places that we look for antlers resemble a barnyard with all the moose tracks. Today was a great day as Lyle sniffed out this huge antler without my having to direct him to it. It's a step in the right direction....
